Mike Tyson Undisputed Truth tickets have been announced for sale for the new intriguing stage show. In the somewhat bumpy history of this boxing legend, it becomes almost strange to say he is doing interviews about his Broadway stage show. The one-man production features Tyson himself entertaining the audience at the Longacre Theater. The production is a very short limited run with previews from July 31, an opening on August 2, and final curtain on August 12 of 2012.

The inspiration for the show comes from Chazz Palminteri’s semi-autobiographical one-man show “A Bronx Tale.” When the Tyson's saw the show, they suddenly got the idea that Mike's story was certainly worth sharing, and he could likely entertain an audience telling it. Ms. Tyson began working on a loose script, and Mike took the show to the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas for six nights. Initial reviews for overall positive, any negatives mainly coming from some uncomfortable content. News of the show and its favorable acceptance eventually got to film director Spike Lee, who made a move to get the show on Broadway.

The stage show is more or less Mike Tyson on stage telling his story, from his career in Boxing, traveling, marriage to Robin Givens and acting. The show offers a candid look into the controversial boxer's life. It is filled with some raw moments and racy tales, but also full of some great humor and touching moments. The Las Vegas production included a live jazz band with screens showing footage of Tyson life and career. As for "Iron Mike" himself, he does well on stage, mainly playing around and poking fun at himself. It is not so much an acting role as he can just be himself on stage and keep the audience entertained throughout.

Mike Tyson Undisputed Truth tickets may not be one of the biggest highlights of Broadway's year; they certainly will be a draw for those looking to see something different this summer. It is doubtful that the Tony Awards will be calling in for "Best New Play," but for fans of boxing, Tyson or just popular culture, it is sure to please. For those looking to hear Mike Tyson's story in his own words and with himself as the storyteller then expect an often humorous and touching show.
